Walk-ins are welcome!
The SECA mBCA 554 is a advanced medical body composition analyzer that utilizes 8-point Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) to provide precise measurements of your body’s composition. Validated against whole-body MRI for skeletal muscle mass and the 4C model for fat mass, it delivers results with up to 98% accuracy. Unlike traditional scales, this device offers deeper insights into muscle mass, body fat percentage, water content, bone mass, and visceral fat levels.
Key features include:
Measurement time of just 24 seconds.
Cloud-based software for detailed graphical analysis.
Optional ultrasonic height measurement for contactless precision.
Handrail with fixed positions for reproducible results.
Comprehensive normal ranges based on over 3,000 multi-ethnic subjects.
Special formulas for various age groups and conditions, including children over 5 years, adults over 65, and individuals with obesity.
Body composition analysis is an essential tool for a thorough evaluation of your health and fitness. By examining parameters such as muscle mass, body fat percentage, water content, and bone mass, you obtain insights that extend beyond mere weight. This data enables the creation of tailored training and nutrition plans, allowing you to track progress effectively. Regular assessments empower informed decision-making and support the achievement of your fitness objectives.
This scan serves as an excellent initial step for enhancing overall health, initiating a new fitness routine, or monitoring ongoing workouts. It is particularly beneficial for identifying risks associated with diabetes and cardiovascular diseases through visceral fat measurements.
Invest in your health with our affordable scanning options:
Single Analysis: $25 – Perfect for a one-time assessment.
Package of 4 Scans: $80 – Save $20! Recommended one per quarter for ongoing monitoring.
The package provides significant financial benefits and supports consistent tracking of your progress.

The Body Composition Chart integrates fat mass and skeletal muscle mass into a coordinate system, distinguishing four body types:
Bottom left: Slender, lean individuals.
Bottom right: Athletes and highly active people.
Top right: Active individuals with obesity.
Top left: Passive individuals with obesity, termed “sarcopenic obesity”.
The central sector represents the average range.
This metric indicates the proportion of fat in your body weight. It addresses BMI limitations by considering fat mass alongside muscle mass. Normal values are BMI-derived, focusing on fat as a risk factor for diabetes and cardiovascular issues. Combined with visceral fat assessments, it facilitates risk evaluation, with green values denoting the lowest risk.
Skeletal muscles facilitate body movement. This value reflects the weight of muscles in arms, legs, and torso, indicating the fat-to-muscle ratio. Comparisons are made to others of similar ethnicity, gender, age, and BMI. Left-side values suggest an unfavorable ratio, while right-side values indicate a favorable one.
Based on muscle and fat mass, this score tracks training progress. A score of 100 is average for your gender, age, and height. Ranges include white and bronze for improvement potential, silver and gold for above-average, and platinum for exceptional muscle-to-fat ratios.
Not merely fat mass, but its distribution affects disease risks. Visceral fat around abdominal organs influences insulin resistance and diabetes. Maintaining low levels, ideally in the green range, is crucial.
